IoT Approach Implementation Based on Flexible and Robust Node-RED Platform for Workplace Digitisation Increasing

The interoperability and connectivity of automated workplace devices are currently critical factors for their digitisation when introducing IoT approaches. The advent of flexible and robust platforms, such as Node-RED, is the main supporting element of data transfer between technologically different devices. The article is therefore oriented towards implementing this approach with an emphasis on testing, verification, and visualization of data from various devices through a server on Raspberry Pi. Innovation of the presented approach lies in designing and constructing seamless communication between typologically different industrial automation devices. The authors' motivation was explicitly to verify the requirements and demands of practice through available research capabilities. The goal is to analyze the speed and reliability of communication and, at the same time, evaluate the use of this approach in actual practice conditions. However, the experimental results of the collected and relevant data already demonstrate the platform's viability and point to the future need for network optimization and the configuration of its devices.
